Life update(s), random musings.
14 years ago
Not a whole lot to report, really, but figure I'd update this to make it look like I'm still around. I guess I -am- around, though I don't tend to talk much on here.
Phlebotomy class is going well, though I am scared to absolute death to attempt a dermal puncture (finger prick) on Wednesday. So painful! D: The book work is easy enough, I'm kinda enthralled by all the cute little colored tops that the blood collection vials have.
Alternatively, the prospect of exposure to all sorts of horrible blood-borne pathogens does not enthrall me in the least. I guess that's what I have to deal with in this field.
My lack of Photoshop, though frustrating, has allowed me to concentrate on *gasp* TRADITIONAL ART. I know, scary. I've actually painted a few things (Harley Quinn being one of them, <3) and it makes me happy to realize that I've come so far as a painter. I also realize that oil paint takes like a week to dry, even with the super thin layers I use.
Still, there's just something about paint on canvas that feels so much more substantial than digital art or work done on paper. The canvas has weight, presence, and you can continue the painting onto the sides of the frame and turn the whole thing into a three-dimensional sorta work.
I realize that I don't do as much furry art as I should. I needs me some updates, even if I have to scan in pencil drawings and stuff. I need inspiration! lol
